AuthorTopic: Penny Lane/SF on Sgt Pepper (Read 16917 times)

Just been reading about G Martin saying the Penny Lane/SFFE single being the biggest mistake of his career.So, what if it hadn't been released as a single and they were on Sgt Pepper. Where would you put them, and what would you drop?I would love to drop Within you Without You, but the album has to have a George song, so no. But I'd drop Good Morning and put Penny Lane as the opener for side two, to give it a more upbeat start.Drop Fixing a Hole and slot SFFE on side 1 between She's Leaving Home and Mr Kite?Any thoughts?

Pepper (Reprise)A Day In The Life

The reason I dropped nothing is because nothing really needs to be dropped, not to mention Abbey Road had more tracks than that. The Reprise also leads into A Day In The Life, ditto for the first two tracks, so you basically have 14 right there with the single.

I'd go with a DOUBLE LP, an idea they toyed with originally. Here are the tracks to go on the album.

All the tracks on the issued album, PLUS ...

Only A Northern Song (was to go on the album, until George surfaced with Within You)SFFPenny LaneAll Together NowIt's All Too MuchBaby You're A Rich ManYou Know My Name (imo, this fits right into the Pepper groove)

If you use the full eight-minute version of Too Much, and a full length You Know My Name, this is another album's worth of material. All songs were recorded first during Pepper sessions, or straight after.

Just think what a mind-blower of an album THAT would be. Choose your own running order.

anyone got any thoughts on putting Rain/Paperback Writer on Revolver?Normal rules, at least one George and 1 Ringo song, fair mix of John and Paul.Sorry if I'm going on, but I love this kind of sh*t.(and I don't think we've done the single White Album properly either

I'd make Rain close off, but really, SSSS wouldn't be a bad way to close off Side 1 itself =P. I'd put PW between Doctor robert and I Want To Tell You, so we cycle John/Paul/John/Paul/George/Paul/John, and it varies. And Your Bird Can Sing is a better opener to side 2 than Good Day Sunshine anyway. How's that?
